‘I don’t feel I cheated’

Both before and after the match Bielsa reiterated that “the responsibility for this lies with me” and insisted nobody from Leeds had given him permission to ‘spy’ on Derby’s training session.

But the Argentine, who said he’d been carrying out the practice for “many years”, denied it was “immoral”.

“I understand Frank Lampard is angry because he thinks I’m someone who is cheating,” he said. “I understand he draws this conclusion.

“But I don’t feel I cheated because my goal was not to get an illegal advantage.

“I can explain my behaviour but my intention is not to be understood or to justify it. I have to respect the norms in the country where I work.”

Leeds outclass Lampard’s Rams

The Whites, now five points clear of second-placed Norwich and seven above Sheffield United in third, had lost both of their previous two league matches.

But, regardless of any tactical advantage gained, they were by far the better team against the Rams, who they had beaten 4-1 in Lampard’s first home game as a manager in August.

The opening minute of Friday’s game was every bit as controversial as the 24 hours that had preceded it, with Leeds’ Ezgjan Alioski blatantly fouled in the box only for the linesman’s flag to be raised – incorrectly – for offside in the build-up.

It was only a sign of things to come for Lampard’s side, however, and they went behind midway through the first half when Roofe converted 18-year-old Jack Clarke’s low cross.

Clarke, impressive throughout, also played a hand in the second goal – although Derby keeper Scott Carson will feel he should have done better before Harrison was allowed to slot into an empty net.
